Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among Australian women and its incidence is annually increasing. Genetic factors are involved in the complex etiology of breast cancer. The seco-steroid hormone, 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D 3 can influence breast cancer cell growth in vitro. A number o

In some tumors, defects in mismatch repair enzymes lead to errors in the replication of simple nucleotide repeat segments RER+ tumors. This condition is commonly known as microsatellite instability (MSI) because of the frequent mutations of microsatellite sequences. Although the MSI phenotype is wel
To better understand the molecular basis for the hormoneresponsive phenotype in breast cancer, we have used a human cDNA array to compare patterns of gene expression between breast carcinoma cell lines discordant for estrogen receptor (ER) expression. These experiments indicated abundant expression
We reviewed 89 patients with disseminated breast cancer who had at least one valid estrogen receptor (ER) assay and who underwent one or several trials of chemotherapy. The responses were assessed by two independent extramural reviewers. Of the 89 patients, 81 were evaluable; 28 of 36 (77.8%) ER-pos
